What would you save in a fire?


Had the unpleasant experience of the Palisades fire nearly burning my house down. As in, I left driving through a firestorm and when I returned all except the actual structure was blackened. I then had to choose what to take with me before fire makes it way back the other side of the hill (which it’s doing now) and stuff my car. I was able to take about 300 out of 10k records, 2 turntables (one that is 250 lbs and almost gave me a hernia), my DAC, 2 phonostages… but had to leave my Aleph 1.2 monoblocks and speakers. Although I did also save 4 TAD woofers, 2 compression drivers, 2 horns and tweeters. I left everything else, spare a shirt and underwear.

I know it sounds materialistic or petty, but the music means everything to me. My wife saved 20 pairs of shoes haha. My question for you is… if you had to choose quickly, what would you save? Would your system make the cut?

I can relate, @grislybutter .

I guess congratulations are in order, @p05129 ; someone had to do it sooner or later.

but I really don’t feel sorry for the California residents because they voted these idiots into office: newscum, the mayor of la: DEI at it finest.

Get rid of these idiots, build reservoirs, and start forest management.

How are the electric fire trucks working out for LA without any power to charge them? It doesn’t get any better than this!!!

 

I like the statement grab the krells .I have the big ones.sorry about the loss.hope better management happens now.be safe stay healthy.

Nope, the only thing that I would save is my computer and my dog. Then the wife. Nothing else matters. 

 @p05129 you accomplished the most amount of nonsense with the fewest characters. And we agree that it was good for you and for us that you left CA 

+10, @grislybutter .

@awboat , you have your priorities in order.  Personally, I would be most concerned about my dogs.
